[removed] Whats the difference between 'Document' and 'HTML'

Question

Example:

$(document).click(function() { blah });   
// and
$(\'html\').click(function() { blah });

Answer 1

A few differences I noticed are:

1. document is a DOM Element which wraps the HTML - DOM Element whereas html is the HTML DOM element.
2. document includes the first line of the document - the one which specifies the doctype. For ex. (for HTML 5)
3. HTML can have class, id and other attributes whereas document doesn't have (and can't have) these attributes. Try $(document).addClass('test') v/s $('html').addClass('test'); and notice the difference on the elements tab on developer console.

Good Luck...
